Firefox jumps back and forth between time?

I have the most up-to-date version of Firefox (11.0 if I recall correctly) and Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) updated on my . I have just recently been having an issue where firefox seems to jump back and forth through time. The time difference is at most a minute or two, but it gets very frustrating.
For example, while I am writing this question, Firefox will jump back to a point where only half of the first paragraph is written, jump back to the 'present', jump back a bit, and then return to the 'present'. This happens with scrolling through websites as well.
I updated yesterday because I bought Diablo III and wanted to make sure everything was current to let it install smoothly (which it didn't... >.<). I noticed upon the restart that my background will switch to a blue background from my picture. When I try to change the background back, it will revert to the blue background after 5 seconds or so. Perhpas this is related to the Firefox issue?

Same specs here, but not seeing the issue you are describing, I suspect yours is a isolated issue.

Well lets eliminate Firefox and the add-ons/plug-ins as a possibility first.
1: User Firefox to uninstall all add-ons, then uninstall FF.
2: Use Safari to check the status of your Flash and other plug-ins using this site

3: Install FF again, then install your add-ons over time, one at a time, to try to determine when the problem occurs.

Sounds like another issue, but localized to that particular account.
Create another user in System Preference and see if it continues there as well.
You can delete your
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
file in your User/Library/Preferences folder and reboot, the file will be recreated minus your preferences which you reset.
Also download and run all of the free OnyX's mainatainance and cleaning aspects and reboot at the end (must), your machine will get a enema of sorts that might clear up the glitch.

  • Compressor frame count jumping back and forth

    Hi guys,
    I've never noticed this before, until last night when compressing a 25-minute film in Compressor at 'DVD-90 minutes, high-quality'. What in the past on this film might take an hour or so, last night took about 14 hours (i.e. all evening and through the night).
    Compressor was advancing through the frame count, but then would return to an earlier frame, then jump forward through the frames again, then jump back to 10 or so frames earlier, advance forward, go back, etc. It took ages for it to get through a dozen frames or so.
    It seems to me in the past when I observed Compressor, it works its way consecutively through frames, advancing forward one frame at a time.
    I guess Compressor was reinterpreting data from an earlier frame, but is this normal? My film only has one of two video layers, up to 8 audio layers, some imported Motion QT files, and a very large PICT image file (scrolling end credits).
    When examing the frame count where Compressor seemed to get bogged down, it appears it was towards the end of the 25-min. film (around the 42,000 mark). It seemed to be stuck there, jumping back and forth all night. Must have been when it was trying to digest the PICT end credits... Eventually it did complete the task and the export was OK.
    If Compressor is having problems with the PICT (?), perhaps I'll test this out by putting my end credits on a seperate FCP sequence, export them as a QT file, then re-import that back into my film and see if Compressor is happier...
    Any thoughts?

    Ongoing changes? What do you mean exactly? Anytime you add filters to a clip and render you are slightly lowering the quality...slightly. But exporting, expecially via Compressor, will add even more. How many changes are you making?

  • HP PhotoSmart 6525 Switching Back-and-Forth between Wireless and USB

    Hi,
    I setup my HP PhotoSmart 6525 using the "Wireless with a router" setup instructions (i.e. not Wireless Direct).  I am able to print from my laptop through the wireless network.  I would also like to be able to print from my laptop using the USB connection at times when my laptop is physically sitting next to the printer.  At times when it is not, I want to continue to be able to print wirelessly.
    Is it possible to setup the print drivers on the laptop so that I can easily switch back-and-forth between USB printing and wireless network printing?  I suspect that it may not be possible because the user guide has a section describing how to "Change from a USB connection to a wireless network" that has you click on a menu item called "Convert a USB connected printer to wireless".  There are no instructions for how to convert back to USB.  Moreover, the use of the word "convert" does not make it sound like you can maintain both print methods simultaneously on a single computer.
    Does anyone know whether it can be done, and if so how?
    Thanks in advance,
    Paul2
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hey Paul2,
    I see you have the HP Photosmart 6525 installed for Wireless printing capacity and would also like to add a USB driver so that it is available for use when near the printer.  Please follow the steps below to add a copy of the printer for USB printing.  The below steps are for Windows 7 and below based computers.  If you have Windows 8, then the steps will be slightly different so let me know.  Please let me know if you have a Mac, because I can provide those steps at that time.
    Press the Start menu of the computer
    Select All Programs
    Open the HP Folder
    Open the folder for the HP Photosmart 6520 series
    Select "Printer Setup and Software"
    Select the option to Add a new printer
    Select the USB option
    Plug the USB cable in when the software requests it and proceed through the install process
    This will leave the Wireless driver support in place and add a second printer under the Devices and Printers window for USB printing.  The USB printer may contain Copy 1 in the name as a differentiation, however the other one should also state Network in the printer name to indicate it is the wireless option.
    I hope this helps,
    Jason

  • How do I disable the flipping back and forth between pages with PgUp and PgDn? Please tell me that I can!

    As of Firefox 4, it seems to have been decided that PgUp and PgDn are now buttons with which you flip back and forth between pages. To me, this essentially means almost losing valuable information because I actually use those to go up and down pages, so I wonder; How do I disable this new and utterly inconvenient feature?
    Please tell me that I can!

    In your system details, I see this plug installed: ''Macromedia Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 8.0''
    You also appear to have a later one, though still out of date installed namely, ''Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.5 ''
    First of all, click the orange Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Plugins and disable the Macromedia version.
    Then go to http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/ and update the other one.
    If the problem persists afterwards, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

  • How do I go back and forth between pages?

    It is very simple feature, but I can't seem to figure out where the arrows are to go back and forth between web pages.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Full Screen mode with all toolbars hidden.
    * Press F11 to toggle full screen mode (Firefox/File > Full Screen)
    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    * If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    * If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

  • When I open certain emails the scroll bars at the side and bottom flash and jump back and forth along with the email content

    I recently upgraded to the latest version of Yahoo mail. Ever since then when I open certain emails the scroll bars jump back and forth and flash. This happens when I open my AT&T bill or something from Amazon for instance. A message appears at the bottom such as "Transferring data from mail.yimg.com", or "us.bc.yahoo.com". This doesn't happen when I use Safari.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Can you move files back and forth between an iPad and a PC using iTunes?

    If I read this article correctly, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094 I should be able to connect my iPad to my PC, fire up iTunes and then on the Apps tab in iTunes I should be able to click on an app, Pages for example and then just drag files onto the Pages Documents column from a Windows Explorer window.
    This is great.  I was hoping to use DropBox but it is such a hassle I don't know why people are so thrilled with DropBox on iPad.  If I can just move files back and forth using iTunes that should be fairly easy.  I wish there was a way to just upload my files to iCloud from my PC but the iCloud control panel app for Windows only seems to connect Outlook, Photostream and Bookmarks. I want to be able to just carry my iPad and not have to deal with a computer. 
    I thought that they said that you didn't need to have a computer to have an iPad.  I guess if you have a computer and then GET an iPad its a different story, unless you have a Mac of course.
    Anyway my question is: can you move files back and forth between a PC and an iPad using just iTunes?

    I still need to do some trial and error testing with DropBox and my iPad.  But can I link my iPad to my DropBox account so that I can always see the files on DropBox when I open Pages on my iPad?  I just want one place to store my documents, and iCloud doesn't seem to be up to the task when it comes to opening a fil;e, editing it and then saving it back to iCloud.  I just want a networked storage location that works like a networked drive on my LAN.
    I realize that hollywood and the music industry are up in arms about file sharing on the Cloud which is why so many things are made more difficult than they need to be. 

  • Is it better to use just one project or to jump back and forth?

    Greetings,
    I am using Captivate 4. And I am wondering if it is better to use just one project or to jump back and forth?
    I have one main project and rather than make one big project, I wondered about jumping off to small projects and returning to the main one.
    I was trying to figure out the suggestion of jumping back to slide 10 and jump off to another project and then back to slide 20.
    Do the projects have to be published to see this work?
    I am just learning about Captivate so I am unsure of the best practices.
    Thanks.

    It's not that easy in Captivate projects to jump to a particular slide midway through another project.  Captivate is set up by default to just launch each project from the first slide. 
    There have been workarounds published on this forum that allowed jumping into the middle of another project, but they can require some complex coding in either JavaScript or ActionScript.

    It's clearly not impossible, just different than you expect. Create your playlist as you want it to appear in the Current tab (meaning don't dump every single song from your library in there, just the ones you want) and then save the playlist.

  • How to jump Back and Forth?

    In C, we can use the "goto" keyword in combination with a label to jump back and forth to anywhere within a method. However, how do I implement this mechanism in Java?

    Take a good book of structured programming and they'll tell you the answer: You don't!. If you are so eager to do it anyways, you can do it with pseudo-loops. But don't blame me if you can't read your code after two days:
      l1: do {
        continue l1;  // jump back to beginning of loop
        break  l1; // jump behind the loop
      } while(false);

  • Premiere CS6 and CC: any compatibility issues working back and forth between both versions?

    Hello,
    What are the compatibility issues with Premiere CS6 and CC versions?  Can the user go back and forth?  I run a computer lab at a college and we will be upgrading to CC but many students will still be using the older CS6 version of Premiere until we update all the computers....  Will students run into problems?
    Thanks,

    My concern is going back and forth between the versions...  I read somewhere there are compatibility issues with Premiere....Can the user working in CC go back to premiere CS6? and vice versa?

  • Suddenly my entire screen now has little dots on it that flash back and forth between pink and blue. What's up?

    I was online (on Facebook) when suddenly my coputer screen developed these little dots--uniform across it not just in a browser window--and they started flashing back and forth between blue and pink. The computer froze up and I had to reboot. It hasn't gone away and it's terribly annoying. What should I try to do?

    It may be a problem with your video electronics - possibly heat related. Shutdown the PB & leave it overnight. Then startup & see if the dots appear.
